Submissions open for Head On Photo Festival 2026

Email Friend Add to Favorites Report Listing

Head On Photo Festival invites photographers worldwide to submit their work to one of the most respected photography festivals on the global stage.

Showcasing outstanding work from enthusiast, emerging and established artists, the Festival presents a powerful mix of online and in-person exhibitions and events across Sydney, with select exhibitions touring nationally and internationally.

Underscoring our belief that all photo artists need a fair chance to show their work, our selection panel reviews exhibition proposals without the artists’ names or pedigrees, ensuring that Head On selects work on merit.

Head On invites successful applicants to exhibit as part of the Festival as either Open or Featured Exhibitors. Head On covers production, curatorial and promotion costs for Featured Exhibitors so artists can focus on their practice.

One submission will also receive a $5,000 cash award.

Be seen, be supported, and be part of Head On Photo Festival 2026.
